Does anyone have a current price list that they could pass-on to me? I don't want to bother the shop because I know they're busy. I'm just in the researching phase at the moment.

Thanks..

I hardly think emailing them about a price list is "bothering" them... Thats how the get customers no? Jimmy is always great at replying to emails in my experience (and this was before I was a "paying" customer")

Agree with Ric, Jimmy is good with email

Yohan!!! Diggin that black mamba. I have a project cookin up and it's similar but that neck tho!!! NICE!

I've been MIA as G.A.S. Went away long time ago.

My AC is the larger body (2009) and I'm looking for a 3ply black pg. (want that white stripe) any idea where I can get it at?

2ndly, do you guys know if thndrstrk6 still does mock ups. I need his incredible talent to help me envision this project. Anyone who could help me connect with him. I'd greatly appreciate it.


Hope everyone is well. #ACforlife just fell off the TB map. But I'm back. Ha

Peace!

Played my LM5 this weekend. Totally amazingly bass. I still haven't found better than my AC's!

Anyone thinking about selling a LG5, hit me up.

I'll second that emotion

My KBP4 served very well this week in a theater pit for Stephen Sonheim's "Assassins". It's #15 from the NY shop, never will we part. I'd still love to find the gold fretless KBP4 that was made at the NY shop if anyone knows its whereabouts and possible availability. In the interest of reviving this thread.

 

[svtb15]

My kbp4 gets most of my gigs... 97% at least...
The Alleva Facebook Page has really taken off..in a good way... not so much here. That all good..
I have another LG5 coming soon..... It might be another 1/2 experiment with a lightweight cedar body.. super resonant.. Jimmy made a great sounding bass that I think went to Canada that was made of 200 year old Pine from a barn timber. Holy cow it sounded punchy...

My one of a kind Oly White prototype dinky LG5 is going back to jimmy as a repair and my new one will be coming here...

 

[svtb15]

As with all of my Alleva Basses I let Jimmy pick the color he thinks will work. .I like surprises

 

[rodl2005]

Color me pink with envy Kirk.

 

[Dan Knowlton]

Well, not a whole bass - but
I just bought a Ken Lawrence 5-string with one of Jimmy's preamps in it. Sounds just amazing! The only thing is that it is a VVTMB preamp and the mid-control gives some different flavors to the bass.

"...from my cold, dead hands."

 

[svtb15]

is that that Pine bass

"...from my cold, dead hands."

 

[basses55]

Hey Kirk, no..thats an LM. Pine went back to Jimmy who sold it in 2 seconds…..

 

[svtb15]

that was a cool one

 

[basses55]

This LG in the pic is so good, its the ultimate 60s style Fender for me. It basically beats everything so far….
